Is the Monarchy DIP effective?

I have a Genesis Digital lens which I think is the same thing. The improvement is very noticable. It does have a large problem with poping though. Timing errors. I have heard that this is a matter of matching the right digital cables but Im not sure. I have emailed Genesis a couple of times but they have ignored my plea for help. I wonder if companies releize how much an unanswered email hurts business.

The Genesis is somewhat different. In simplistic terms the Monarchy DIP is just a phase locked loop jitter reducer, while the Genesis Digital Lens stores the data stream and re-clocks it, as well as re-dithering.

While I have not tried a Monarchy DIP, I have used either an Audio Alchemy DTI, DTI 2.0 or DTI Pro for several years. All of them effected some level of improvement in clarity, bass response and tonal balance. They also seem to reduce the level of tension that is frequently associated with digital playback. While the degree of improvement varied with different transports, usually the degree of improvement was greater with cheaper transports and almost mandatory with some. Using a jitter reduction device will require an extra digital interconnect, but imho, I consider them a requirement to achieve acceptable digital sound. If the Monarchy can be obtained on a trial basis, it is definitely worth trying.

I would suggest the camelot technology 5.1 jitter reduction device as it covers all the basis of digital streams and is supposedly an improved version of the audio alchemy jitter reduction boxes
